Shimmer Card


I made this card for a swap I am in at my work. I got the original idea from Archiver's new watercolor class. I love this stamps set with the animals. It is so cute and can do many different things with it. The stamp for the bird is from a Hero Arts stamp set called Sending Happy Thoughts. The swirls on the background are from the Autumn Leaves Swirls stamp set.

Welcome!

Hi! If you have found this site I welcome you! I have always wanted to have a blog where I only have my craft stuff. It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted and I am sure I will end up changing some things around too. But that is what crafting is all about. How you feel at the time and just playing around.

I started stamping back in the late 1990's and have loved it since. I use to do very elaborate cards with stamps but since I have kids they have gotten simpler. I still love playing with stamps!

I started scrapbooking (with one of those buy it all kits from Michael's) back in 1998. I was working as a nanny for a family and we decided to do a scrapbook for the mom. I am glad that the book is not sitting around here b/c I would get the urge to go back and change things. :-) I seriously started scrapbooking when my first was born in 2002. Now I am not a person that scraps her pictures in order. I am scrap what I feel like. But I seriously do need to actually got back and finish some sections of my kids albums! Just so I can say that part is done.

Most times I will post a picture of what I am working on. There will be posts of just wandering thoughts or of organizing ideas. I am in the process of organizing my stuff since I got a new/bigger desk for Christmas. My dh thinks it's crazy....he likes a clean nothing on the desk (will have to show a picture sometime) but for me a crafting desk is not going to be clean and neat all the time. Plus I need to have alot of my stuff at hands reach so I don't have to get up and get it!

Have a wonderful day! Come back and visit!
